Survival in the Forum

Thank you for comforting me.
I am currently on a break before the start of my final year of my Bachelor of Life Sciences, with a small focus this year on Botany, Virology and Genetic Engineering. So I have at least three weeks off until I start school.
My problem is that the world probably doesn’t want me to be on the computer XD

And today I have a holiday, so I’m less active than usual.

soo updete my Repiratory system psl by Air bags

Okay do your thing let’s see if you can compete with the first CARNIVORE HAHAHAHAHAHA (I feel evil)

A diet lacking variety isnt super useful…
Especially when your closest relative is improving its hunting abilities while you’re not

I know but I will do later.

Round 10 - Year 0, Month 10

Nothing out of ordinary, just some species evolving…

Species

@Teaking - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - HO

  • Small Omnivore

Mutations: Chemoreception (+1 Stealth), Tunnel Digging (+1 Stealth)

Multipoda has gained a new sense, now being able to feel particles in forum’s air. It’s digging limbs can now dig proper tunnels inside the soil, shielding this species from FPG swarms and allowing it to hunt better.

Dichorisare, like Multipoda, has developed chemoreception to smell and taste stuff. It now also has “Air Bags”, which are used for better respiration.

Statistics:

Mutations: Stronger Exoskeleton (+1 Strenght), Self-Fertilization (+0.5 M/R)
You can evolve another feature to get back to 2.5 M/R.
D. Hemozore has developed a harder and earlier-growing exoskeleton, which can protect it’s juviniles. Besides that, the specimens now can self-fertilize, creating yet another form of reproduction for this species.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4/2
  • Stealth - 3.5*(3) = 10.5
  • Strenght - 4*(1) = 4 (Poisonous)
  • User Usefulness - 1.5 (3.5)

@TwilightWings21 - Fabula Antelectum, “Naptime” - NE-

  • Small Herbivore

Mutations: Quills (+0.5 Strenght, +0.5 UU), More Specific Feeding, Basic Brain

F. Antelectum has developed quills which extend from it’s rough skin and act like spikes and a pretty feature for users. It now feeds on more stuff which users consider to be not needed, and to do this the species has finally developed a brain.

However, Multipoda has refined it’s hunting tactics and is now a lot better hunter… For now, BCA helps this species survive, but will it stand in the long term?

Statistics:

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 3.5*(2.5) = 8.75
  • Strenght - 6.5*(1.5) = 9.75
  • User Usefulness = 6 (8)

@Yuyi333 - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - UC

  • Small Carnivore

Mutations: Carnivoreous Diet, Better Camouflage (+1 Stealth)

M. Yuyimus is a splinter species of the Multipoda TeaKinges. It has went towards full-blown carnivory aswell as a better camouflage to secure itself from being detected. Still, it’s omnivoreous relative is a better hunter and so this new kind is in decline.

Dude I don’t prey on vegetation.
Stronger Claws to fight back the ancestors of mine.
Stronger leg mussles to flee large groups of crawlers.

oh ok, I fixed this, there’s always extra work when a new species appears

Okay I think the mutations of mine will help I hope.

Mutation 1: A network of short fast-acting muscles through the entire body which allows an explosive release of strenght used to reach high speeds. (increases speed)

Mutation 2: A pseudo-skeletal system, this isn’t a proper skeletal system because the bones aren’t interconnected and are more like plates which are used as anchor points for the short muscles of the first mutation, increasing their effectiveness.

Time to speed things up a bit…

M1: extra speed
M2: more speed

M1: tail created from a modification of a duplication of the back segment with the modifications made including pores in the exoskeleton that lead to small air sacs that are compressed and expanded my swaying it from left to right, these air sacs are mainly used to remove gaseous waste
M2: wings get muscles and their exoskeleton is modified to let them work better

Mutation 1: Ability to fire quills at attackers if necessary, using specialized attachment muscles

Mutation 2: Change to skin and quill cells, allowing for invisibility-like camouflage based on surroundings when trying to hide from predators/hibernating underground

I hope your species don’t fall into the void or tunnels.
Also @doomlightning where is your mutation?

you dont have to ping doom
be patient
also theres apparently a layer of indestructible rock under the soil so no tunnels will breach it

Ok I will be quiet waiting for doom.

-_-

Are you serious?
You just flood me with messages now especially that I mentioned that I was on holiday today (I finished it).
Next time you do this, I’ll flag you.

Just for that, I will punish you by not answering my votes for two days

thats short. just 48 hr.

I’ll join.

I sprout off from the Multipoda TeaKinges.

Name: Multipoda Cat Bestiae AKA ‘Cat Beasts’

Mutation 1: I mutate to become tiny.
Mutation 2: I mutate to change my appearance to Camoflauge in with the letters.

Also please ping me as I’ll forget.
